I take the morning off work and join KA and one other for a recce of leg 2 of the JNC. We drop a car at Dunmail and then meet at Kirkstone for 9:30 set-off; it's a bit wet and low cloud but has the potential to clear.
We are soon moving fast up Red Screes and by the time we descend to Scandale Pass the cloud has lifted and there are sunny spells. Then skirt Dove Crag and to the summit of Hart Crag, we are making good time, ahead of his schedule. Then to Fairfield and the punishing descent to Grisedale Hause. It's then just a short climb to Seat Sandal and a steady, and then steep descent to Dunmail Raise.
We are up on his schedule butbthe descents hurt, still recovering from Ben Rinnes. Followed by lunch in Ambleside and a mad dash to the office.
Then a relaxing Pilates session in the evening.
